Ok but not great for the price. People go to see celebrities that frequent here and that's really what you're paying for.

We came here on a Thursday evening, reservations for 2. We started with the meatball appetizer. For an appetizer it was perfect portion so you're not filling up before your meal. My daughter ordered the gnocchi and I ordered the clam pasta with white wine sauce special. I don't agree with other reviews about portions. For us, the portions were perfect. In general, Americans tend to like huge portions you can't finish and need to take leftovers home. If you're looking for that, this is not the place. For once, my daughter finished her entire plate, which was delicious. I finished mine as well, which has an abundance of clams. It was amazing and I'd recommend both dishes if available. We finished with the tiramisu which was also a perfect portion. It was not too sweet and not too spongy. We did not leave hungry. The staff was attentive, always refilling water, refilling the olive oil for the bread. When my daughter stepped away, the waiter came over to fix her place setting and fold her napkin. Everyone from the hostess to the waiter to the bus staff were kind and attentive. We would come here again.

Yes, it is a hyper establishment (paparazzi wait outside) where my friend wanted to celebrate her birthday at after delivering her baby 2 months prior. She even brought the baby and they accommodated the Nuna. We got a lot of stares at our table for various reasons I am sure (from coming in at the final hour, all being beautiful people, having a cute baby etc), however, we enjoyed our hour dining and spending over $1.5K on food and tip. I specifically can say the frittata misto was the most underwhelming here than at any Italian spot in LA. We ordered a lot of good items from the Dover sole, fried veal, 1 lobster risotto, 1 lobster, 2x agnolottis (many yums on that), veggies, carpaccio and prosciutto. The agnolottis were a hit and the Dover was exceptional. The food came out hot (which is very important to me) and it was an overall chill night.

Came here to celebrate my 33rd birthday The ambiance was so nice. The restaurant is a bit upscale but still low key with a beachy vibe (right off of PCH). We came right when the restaurant opened which was nice as the restaurant was packed by the time we left. We ordered the minestrone, anolini in brodo, agnolotti, sogliola al limone, and tiramisu. Everything was great. No complaints. Our server was very attentive and professional which we appreciated.

What an interesting place. Food is definitely amazing. Beef carpaccio. Was fresh and delicious Crab meat risotto was u real They only serve wine and beer for drinks. Ambience is nice and quiet. It's a small place. With paparazzi outside. As many celebrities use their private room for dinner. Service was great. Such friendly staff. It has no bar. Tables pretty close to one another So. Great Italian food. And perfect for a quiet intimate. Romantic dinner. Enjoy
